PC Falls To Limestone
CLINTON, S.C. – Presbyterian’s Casey Carlson had two hits, but Limestone’s Adam McSwain had three hits and two RBIs to lead the Saints to a 5-1 victory over Presbyterian on Wednesday afternoon at the PC Baseball Complex.
Overall, McSwain went 3-for-4 on the day. He started the game by securing the first run of the day for the Saints when he singled in Matt Craig, who had walked earlier.
McSwain, Limestone’s designated hitter in the contest, then gave the Saints their final run in the top of fourth inning when he singed in Joey Asis.
Limestone (3-1) scored the first two runs of the game in the top of the first inning, but Presbyterian pulled to within one at 2-1.
Carlson (Lexington, S.C.), who was on third base, scored the run after Russell Robinson (Mt. Pleasant, S.C.) stole second base. Limestone catcher Tyler Midgett tried to nail down Robinson at second base, but his throw was off the mark, leaving Carlson in a good position to score the first and only run of the game for the Blue Hose.
Limestone would score three more over the next three innings. Neither team could muster more as the final five innings of the contest saw neither cross the dish.
Ryan Maxa (1-0) hurled 7.0 innings of four-hit baseball to pick up his first win of the year for Limestone. Jim Wagers (0-1) suffered the loss in his first start of the season for Presbyterian.
Presbyterian (2-3) has two days off before welcoming Brevard College to the PC Baseball Complex this weekend for a three-game series. The two teams will take part in a twinbill beginning at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 10.
The final game of the series will take place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 11.
